Question

What is the area of triangle FGH? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a square centimeter.

Answer 1

A=bh/2

A=(5.4)(3.6)/2

A=9.72 cm^2

A≈9.7 cm^2 (to nearest tenth of a square centimeter)

Answer 2

Answer:
`\text{Area}=9.8\ \text{square centimeter}`

Explanation:

Given: The height of the triangle h= 3.0 cm

The base corresponding to the given height b= 6.5 cm

We know that the area of a triangle is given by :-

`\text{Area}=(1)/(2)bh\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Area}=(1)/(2)(3)(6.5)\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Area}=(19.5)/(2)\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Area}=9.75\approx9.8\ \text{square centimeter}`
